Lauinger Library’s Pierce Reading Room will soon undergo a major renovation and expansion, with construction expected to begin in early January 2025 and anticipated to be completed in December 2025. The space will be unavailable for use throughout the duration of the demolition and construction project.
This ongoing project will expand the Pierce Reading Room on the third floor of the library and create a mix of informal study and small group collaboration rooms, as well as a new Digital Lab with a large-format video wall for interactive teaching and learning and special events.
Impacts
Work hours will be 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday. Noisy interior work will start at 5 a.m. and will stop at 9 a.m. Noisy exterior work will occur from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and may be heard outside the library and in nearby buildings.
While the Pierce Reading Room is under construction, students can find alternative places to study on the Library's Quiet Study Areas page.
As project updates are available, they will be posted on the Active Construction Website and Lauinger Library Renovations landing page.
